More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
At the heart of Richard Bryant-Jefferies' work with problem drinkers is his belief in the power and effectiveness of the person-centred approach to counselling. He suggests that many alcohol problems develop out of, or are connected with, relationship difficulties. He highlights the importance of building a therapeutic relationship with the person, and of engaging with their individuality to encourage sustainable lifestyle change underpinned by personal growth. This practical book shows how such client-focused counselling can support problem drinkers who are seeking to develop and sustain a less alcohol-centred way of life. Demonstrating how the client-counsellor relationship can be harnessed to empower the individual to help themselves, Richard * describes the health risks and effects on family life of alcohol dependency * considers the differences between young and old problem drinkers * analyses the support services available to those seeking change * suggests ways of coping with relapse. Supported by contributions from clients who have undergone counselling for alcohol reliance, this is a comprehensive and positive guide for people working with those who have a problematic relationship with alcohol.

Format:Paperback
I have absolutely loved reading this book. Over the last 4 months I have read lots of articles and books on addiction and this was clearly the best. I love his attitude towards clients, which is very positive and warm, unlike so many of the books, which have a very negative or superior attitude. For anyone writing an academic essay or practising as a counsellor, I think this book provides a lot of useful information on both theory and practice.
